That's what I hoped the end result would be. The tests are just that - TESTS. You receive the results and then decide on what course of action - or none - to follow. Having the tests doesn't commit you to treatment. Go for test after test after test (whatever insurance will cover) and make your decision(s) after that. I've been getting PSA tests every 3 to 6 months, had 2 biopsies, countless CTs and bone scans, and still haven't submitted to treatment. That's mainly because of the lies, half-truths, incompetence and bedside manners of the urologists in the past 6-1/2 years (June 2001 to present). ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 HI CalifChief, You didn't mention your PSA and Gleason results. Just curious and no I'm not about to make a recommendation. You didn't ask. Of course I'm sure you could get plenty of suggestions. The Doc that I referred to was older and had spent time on staff at John Hopkins with credentials. He was President of the local hospital board, etc. Should have went with a younger more current MD rather than someone waiting to retire.
